This is stupid as hell. I mean, don`t these people think? What is the point of taking down hundreds of videos that in majority aren`t even commercially available. Isn`t it in everyone`s best interest that as many people as possible see Bob performing Blowin in the Wind, Like a Rolling Stone live and thus resulting in a life time addiction and album sales? They also took down Bob`s Victoria`s Secret commercial, what the hell? Why would you want to make a commercial LESS available, that goes against everything logical. Bah, I hate it when people do stupid shit.

:x If the bottom line is money, why the F don't they put this stuff out on DVD compilations & sell it to us! Freakin' STUPID IDIOTS!!

Because if they do it like this your anxiety will probably lead you to pay even more ...

How some of you people arrive at the conclusion that you are somehow entitled to watch material you don't own on a websit you don't own puzzles me. Videos containing music of original records obviously violate both copyright laws and YouTube's terms of use, no matter what argument you want to come up with: that's something you won't be able to deny.

Well, My Dylan youtube channel is still in the air. At least over here in the Netherlands. Last night it was still open in the USA but while browsing other people’s videos today I encountered lots of ‘this video is not available in your country’ messages so I don’t know if it’s still reachable from other parts of the world:

Although I have no official stuff on my channel, I do expect to be taken down any minute now. The first performance of Blowin’ In The Wind is on my channel and that one will probably rise through the ranks now that most of the other versions of the song are gone. It’s bound to get noticed. The same goes for a blistering live version of I Want You in great sound quality from a cancelled live album. I just checked youtube and it’s now the number 1 search result for the song.

I would be flattered under other circumstances.

Erik.

(I've already posted this in on the off topic board but perhaps this is a more appropriate place for it since the post is definitely Dylan related. Sorry.)

Something is happening, but you don't know what it is?Do you? Mister Jones

The legal aspect of it is beyond me and will clearly vary from country to country. Morally however none of what we are talking about is commercially released. It is being shared between fans (ie: the people who buy the cds and the tickets hence paying for Bob's lifestyle and Sony's lawyers) for our enjoyment and is essentially free advertising for Dylan. Its a shitty, cowardly and self defeating thing to do and if you can't see that then you sir are a bloody fool.

Ooh witty, you used a Bob Dylan-quote to give your argument greater persuasive power. Clever.Remember that Time-Magazine guy Dylan is talking to in Don't look back? At some point he says like 'I've never been in Time Magazine and yet this hall is sold out twice.', doesn't he?

And despite the fact that you do your best to be insultive towards me, I still don't see how it is that you are entitled to have access to this material. None of it is owned by you, the site it's being shown on isn't owned by you, ... In fact: most if not all of it isn't owned by the people who put it up - just for your information: just because you filmed Dylan singing Like a rolling stone in concert doesn't mean that suddenly he has lost his copyright on that one.

You were never entitled to have access to most of the content in the first place.If you enjoyed it, be glad for what you have had.But don't go act as if someone is morally obliged to garanty you access to it for evermore.

If anyone is a regular at HC or Dime you should already have better copies of everything worth watching than what was once on the streaming sites. I would use youtube for convienience or at work but if I really want a fine evening I'll put on a DVD I acquired via bittorent.
